[Verse 1]
You can’t always get what you want, honey
You can’t always lie in the sun
They pay you for your looks, you’re not looking back
I don’t know why’d you’d wanna grow old so fast
When I saw you in the parking lot
I could’ve told you how I felt but it got stuck in the mud
Now the moment’s gone
So run along
[Chorus]
Can’t afford to waste any more time
Seems the strings of fate
Are pulling too tight
Oh I don’t really care
About the skeletons you hide
Can’t afford to waste any more time
Girl, I told you so
[Verse 2]
I’ll never tire of seeing your face
I hold you close but you're far away
Five shots of something, come on take a chance
In the 45 odd seconds this feeling lasts
[Chorus]
Can’t afford to waste any more time
Seems the strings of fate
Are pulling too tight
Oh I don’t really care
About the skeletons you hide
Can’t afford to waste any more time
Girl, I told you...
[Bridge]
Say so long to being there
Not always gonna wait for you
We can say we’ll meet again
But we both know that’s voodoo
[Chorus]
Can’t afford to waste any more time
Seems the strings of fate
Are pulling too tight
Oh I don’t really care
About the skeletons you hide
Can’t afford to waste any more time
Girl, I told you so
